Now the needs of people on cell phones become increasingly higher. Also, how to identify new and used cell phones is of important significance. Eight steps are for you to identify new and used cell phones.

Step one: check package and instruction manual of cell phones. The package and instruction manual of new cell phones provided by real manufacturers are printed with beautiful words and extremely clear pictures, while that of refurnished cell phones are printed with bad-quality paper and fuzzy in fonts and image.

Step two: check cover. When you open the package of a new cell phone, you will obviously see there is a key protection attached by the manufacturers in the "key part". However, the covers of refurbished cell phones are faked or polished with the used one. Step three: check network license. The official network license has a watermark is uneven in the surface color, while the faked is generally a copy of the official network license, and has no changes in the surface color. Step four: check IMEI. IMEI is just like the identification number of a cell phone, and each new cell phone has a unique IMEI. Step five: check cell phone parts. If new cell phones are from the real manufacturer, all of the parts from the manufacturer are certainly provided, while the refurnished has not all the parts. Step six: check using records. The used one will have something left in general. Step seven: check warranty. The warranty of a used one is not provided or relatively short. Step eight: check price. As the saying goes, penny wise, pound foolish.
